The Shelby GT is more of a real Shelby because the Shelby package in INSTALLED BY SHELBY, and the Shelby factory. The GT500 is strictly Ford.
If you're referring to the Shelby hood, grill and decall kit as the Shelby package ? it's nothing more than a body kit that's just another marketing gimmick for the Shelby name in which provides another excuse for dealerships's to capitalize on by price gouging 8-10k above sticker onto their customers..As for the so called package ? it's installed by the employees of Shelby Automoblies and not by Shelby himself, therefore IMO ? the car is no more of a real Shelby than just another modified Mustang GT in which anybody can purchase the very same parts and have installed themselves and save perhaps as much as 6k in the process..However on the other hand, if we were talking about a 5.0 cammer capable of producing around 400 HP ? then I'd consider this car as a real Shelby....
